A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You’re assuming they need to feel like they’re doing good? Some people don’t give a crap and will trample on anyone for a buck.
For some people, definitely. But finding an entire startup worth of those people is (IMO) more difficult/unlikely than at least some of those starting there and talking themselves into not feeling guilty (if not for us, someone else would do it; we are not being as terrible as those others would be; it's a tool, it's not our fault people are applying it to minors etc.!; ...)
I mean look at musk and his dge group, he got nerds to help screw people over no problem, I'm sure people would feel less bad about fake porn without even thinking of the sources
Yeah but they can at least buy their bullshit, i.e. "we help gut overspending and Make America Great Again". What's the supposed mission here? "We help you fap to people that don't want to he fapped to"?
Yeah or money, think of like telemarketers or scammers, even those door to door people trying to lock you into bad contracts for solar, people do whatever for money, they just think about getting paid
